3 ways to reconfigure pub furniture for New Year's Eve

New Year's Eve is a special night and offers opportunities to reconfigure pub furniture 'for one night only' in ways you might normally not consider.

In order to be able to do this easily, it's always good to have pub furniture in good condition - no wobbly legs or loose spindles in chair backs, for instance.

You might even want to invest in pub furniture made of laminates or other more lightweight modern materials, which can be highly durable but easier to lift and carry.

And it's smart to have tables that are all of the same height, except for your poseur or bistro tables that are designed for stool height rather than chair height.

With all of that in mind, here are three ways to reconfigure pub furniture for New Year's Eve to create the best environment for your captive customers to celebrate right through to midnight and beyond.

First of all, if you don't normally have a dance floor, consider creating a space for people to stand and dance - most people will want to stand up at midnight, if nothing else.

Push your tables to one end of the bar or place them around the edges of the room to leave a free end or central space for people to get up when they want to.

Alternatively if you have a big screen, position your tables and chairs where everyone can get a good look at it - that way everyone can follow the countdown to midnight and watch the fireworks, if you're planning to show the TV coverage.

Even if you haven't taken any large group bookings, longer tables with tinsel and other decorations can create a party atmosphere and get guests chatting to the people next to them, even if they did not arrive together.

Whatever you decide, make sure your pub furniture is laid out in a way that enhances the shape of your premises, and fixtures like TVs and big screens, and you're already one big leap towards giving your customers a New Year's Eve to remember throughout 2017 and beyond.
